Challenging Artifact Weapon Appearances

Players in Patch 7.2 can unlock new artifact appearances by completing a special Class Challenge for Una apariencia desafiante. These new appearances will be difficult to acquire and demonstrate a mastery of your specialization.

Attempting the Artifact Challenge

Before you attempt the Artifact Challenge, you need the following requirements:

Be level 110

Have 35 Artifact Traits

Complete the new Empowered Trait questline in 7.2 to access the new traits.

To attempt the challenge, your region must have constructed the Mage Tower on the Broken Shore. This building will be up for 3 days at a time. You MUST complete this challenge during Legion in order to transmog to this appearance in future expansions.

Speak to Consejera de guerra Victoria once the Mage Tower is constructed to attempt the challenge. The first time you access the encounter, it will be free - but if you fail, all future attempts will cost 100 Nethershards.

This Challenge is designed to be difficult. It will demonstrate your skill as a player. While better gear and more traits will make the challenge easier, there is still an element of skill.

Challenges and Tips

There are seven challenges, providing variation among roles and specializations. If you master one challenge and want to try for a challenge on another specialization, you will not get the same challenge on that class. Here is the specialization breakdown and links to class tips users have left!

Unlocking Tints

After unlocking the base style through the Challenge, you can unlock other artifact tints by defeating heroic Kil'Jaeden, winning 10 rated battlegrounds, and and defeating all Legion bosses. You'll also be awarded the achievement Una apariencia desafiante.

In Patch 7.3, you do not need to have the Challenge Appearance equipped to earn credit towards the tints. You simply have to complete the activities on the character you earned the initial tint on--you don't even need the same spec or artifact equipped.

Hunters seem to be neglected similarly to most nowadays' designs... Goes real nice with the recolor and 10-minute T19 design. :/

Although I must say that I give them a lot of credit for implementing something such as this. And if I may add, they have really outdone themselves on certain classes/specializations. Makes me want to re-roll to DH or Druid. ^^

In the section "Attempting the Artifact Challenge", at the bottom, Elemental Shaman is listed twice, but Enhancement Shaman is not listed at all.

"Proven <dps> <healer> <tank>" version 2.0 with a better reward?

anyone have macro to track the new appearance progress ?

Comentario de SoulsaltsMJK

Interesting but useless note that I figured out by accident. Mages can Blink past the wall directly behind when phasing into the scenario. There's not much to look at, really. Less mobs to fight when wondering around. Flight Master's whistle seems to work inside, but I didn't test to see if it actually takes you anywhere.

The tint for killing all legion dungeon bosses seems to only track final bosses. I had to kill both final bosses in Violet Hold to unlock it. I didn't have to kill all the other bosses in VH which would have been annoying to get.

If you're never gonna use any of the weapon Transmogs is there any point to doing the artifact challenge quest? Is it the criteria for another bigger achieve?

Comentario de HavenCeles

Apparently I missed the 3 day window part. Just logged in to finish The God-Queens Fury only to find the mage tower that was up a few hours ago demolished and no way to finish the quest as of right now.

Anyone know if there will be another chance to finish the questline with the activation of the next two buildings? Or should I just toss the quest and accept the loss?

DH one is still buggy as hell, he teleported off the island... he didn't interrupt after i used 3. Umm polity tell blizz to lick a long Popsicle in the mouth. They cant even fix a fight 908 ilvl dh.

Comentario de FatherRuckus

The hell? I got in on my DK trice, one-shottet all 3 times. Blizz u on crack since Chris left the office?

Completed it as a 900 resto shammy, with roots and boots. First phase is really hard, spend everything to survive wave 4, also it's have an oportunity to drink mana porion then you first melee is dead.Hero on wave 5, after mage is dead it became much easier. Do not kite melee on p5, just tank it and control mage. Then only archer left it's hard to die even without mana.P1 takes me about 20-30 tries (10 or more was very stupid)Phase 2 (running) is a joke, you don't even need to wait for hero for it. Roots completely trivialise it, dps trinkets are usefull, but they are not necessary.P3 took me 3 tries, with second with wipe on 0,8%. I used legendary head. IMPORTANT: Roots make boss fight MUCH harder! It`s hard to be low on hp with it, it wiped me on first pull.For waves just hero on 1st adds, healing tide on 2nd, ascendance on 3rd if you wish. You should heal just 2 adds on 3rd wave.Also i used Royal Dagger Haft (tank trinket from anomaly) for boss fight, it helps a lot.

Little tips: hero doesn`t bebuff your party, so you can use drums at the start of boss fight. I think it's even possible to pop drums on wave 4 and hero on wave 5 on first phase.My talants for p1 was 1-1-1-1-3-3-1, artifact level 42, for boss fight i swithed to Ancestral Protection totem to save me from stupid deaths.

Can confirm you don't have to do lower kara for the unlock, everything done on heroic/normal

A few things to note about the the "All Legion Dungeon Bosses" appearance.It does not actually require all legion dungeon bosses.You can do these on any mode. Normal, Heroic, Mythic or Mythic+.There might never be a macro in game to track this because its boss kills after a point in time. An addon would likely be able to track this, but no current in game script or macro exists that can track this until blizzard adds something.

Comentario de Pernicious

I apparently started the initial quest with the wrong spec active. I assume there is a way I can pick up the challenge for the correct spec? I can't seem to find where that might be. Khadgar is silent, as are the people on the Broken Shore. Anybody have any information on this?

Thanks!

Comentario de Therenia

When I go to the Mage Tower and click on War Councilor Victoria, all I see is a note. Therefore I'm confused as to how I'm supposed to use my challenge artifact weapons.

Comentario de Lacrosseguy108

i swear i read a post on mmo-champs about when the argus patch dropped they were making it so that you could do any challenge in any spec.(being prot for the fury one) for example. did i read this wrong some how or do you have to do something to make that possible?

As of Patch 7.3 the 4th artifact appearance now only requires you to complete 10 Legion Dungeons as opposed to Defeat All Legion Dungeon Bosses

Comentario de Richmond79

Thought I'd have a pop in 7.3 now that I have an ilevel of 914 and artifact is 947. Still hard and annoying. will come back when i am stupidly overgeared just before Blizz remove it.

Comentario de r8dj

Wow....weak mogs for many of the classes. Not even worth the grief and repair bills for a recently returning player.

Comentario de Roflp0pz

Do you know if the apperance is "account bound" or "soulbound" to the character that killed Kruul? Also will you be able to still use the apperance if paying for a change to another race?

Comentario de deathxelf

tbh most of these challenges dont seem worth it for me...the skins dont really look that nice exept the DH veng one
